IOS 6: seven problems Apple needs to solve

Last year, Apple released iOS 5. We saw that it not only added new features, major updates are also made to iCloud, iTunes Match, custom vibration reminders, Web browsing Privacy Security, and wireless software updates. This year's WWDC will be held next week. Maybe we will take a look at the true face of iOS 6 in this keynote speech. For iOS 6, we hope that they will improve a lot. Recently, the foreign media "Wired" magazine summarized the seven major aspects they think Apple iOS 6 should be improved. Let's take a look at them below:

New and extended functions of Siri

How many people were excited when Siri debuted with the iPhone 4S at the beginning. However, after the excitement, many people find that the services provided by Siri are a little disappointing. It is indeed time for Siri to perform an update, because the current test version of Siri has more room for improvement in terms of language support and functions, and cook also hinted that they still have a "tip ". If Apple can open the platform and allow Siri to interact with third-party applications, Siri can better master users' instructions to complete the task.

Rich control gestures

The OS X platform has a variety of multi-touch trackpad gestures, so it is natural to add new gestures to iOS. New gestures make it easier for smartphone and tablet users to navigate devices.

IOS 5 has added four-and five-finger gesture operations, automated main interface, multi-task switching, and multi-task tray opening. This makes iPad users more comfortable to use. If Apple can add two fingers to the iPhone and click or slide to open the multi-task tray or the Windows 8 style slide from one end of the screen to bring up the shared options, therefore, user operations are ideal.

Screen lock and application icons

The current screen lock only displays the user-set images, or when the user receives a notification, the screen can be unlocked by sliding the notification. For those who have many schedules, they may want to add more practical functions to the screen lock. For example, you can set the calendar or unfinished items as a background image or integrate this function with a third-party application to make it easier for you to view.

In addition, the application icon design is more dynamic, allowing users to obtain more detailed information when opening the screen. For example, the calendar application can remind users of the importance of the item by changing the color of the item; the weather application can display the temperature in real time, the weather condition is rain or sunny.

Integrate Facebook and other social platforms

IOS 5 integrates Twitter for many users, but there are not many Facebook users. If the next version of iOS is still not compatible with Facebook, it may be a bit difficult to say, and there has been news that iOS 6 will integrate Facebook. For domestic users, it may be the best to integrate Weibo!

In OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, we can see that Apple attaches great importance to Chinese users and hopes iOS 6 can do the same.

Change application icon design

Currently, many built-in iOS app icons look good, but there are also several icons that make people look uncomfortable, such as the icon design of the Find My Friends app. In addition, other application icons, including address book, Mail, reminder items, iTunes, and App Store icons, should also be updated. In addition, we hope Apple can add a function that allows users to delete applications on the home screen. Of course, if you want to use these applications again, you can download them again in the App Store.

Improved audio file Integration

Currently, users can only share audio files by email or information. More sharing channels are supported by the majority of users, such as synchronizing data to iCloud and sharing data on different devices. In addition, if you often use the built-in Voice Memo function to interview or complete other tasks, you may find that you can add tags to the audio recording by clicking the mic icon on the screen during the recording process, this makes it easier to select a key position for playing a long recording.

Email attachment

In the current operating system, you can only select and send a photo in the photo library, but cannot directly add a photo attachment to the Mail for sending. However, the third-party mail client Sparrow currently supports the Mail Attachment function. Do users just want to add attachments directly to the Mail application?

The improvements to iOS 6 vary with users. In addition to the above, what else do you think iOS 6 can be improved? We may also share this with many BKJIA readers.
